Here at Jaguar Indianapolis, you’ll find the Jaguar service tips and tasks that will keep your vehicle in the best possible condition all year.

Here are some driving and service tips to keep your sports car safe this winter.
Swap Out Your Tires
Most sports cars come with performance tires, which are great for quick launches off the line and fast times at the track. That said, performance tires aren’t as valuable for inclement driving conditions. If you’re expecting snow, rain, ice, or even just colder temperatures, it’s best to transition to winter tires for safer driving.
Keep it Clean
Of course, you’ll want to keep your sports car clean for cosmetic reasons. Jaguar vehicles are stunning to look at, after all. That said, it’s actually beneficial for your vehicle’s longevity to clean it regularly in winter. Salt, dirt, and grime that kick up from winter roads can cause corrosion to the paint and eventually to the metal below, and washing your vehicle regularly will help to prevent damage.
Skip Sport Mode
If your vehicle has all-wheel drive, that’s the best option for inclement weather driving. If you’re driving a rear-wheel drive model, try to load down the back seat or trunk with sandbags or kitty litter to get extra traction on the road. You’ll want to skip Sport mode, which depends on good traction. Icy or snowy conditions could cause you to spin out in Sport, so save it for the warmer weather.
